Combining third-person view action with real-time strategy, Uprising44: The Silent Shadows provides a unique style of play. Taking place during World War II, you take control of the Silent Shadows – forerunners of modern day special forces – paratroopers dropped behind Nazi controlled lines to assist and train resistance cells to fight back against Nazi occupying forces during the famous Warsaw Uprising.

The two types of game modes each offer options to help you organize and fight the enemy. While in “action” mode, you’re in a third-person over-the-shoulder view on the streets of Warsaw. Sixteen types of weapons are available to use in tactical squad combat. The “RTS” mode gives an overhead view of the map to allow you to tactically place your units to improve your chances of survival and defense.

Judging by the screenshots of what Uprising looks like, and its potential to be a seriously fun game, we can see why the Steam community chose to greenlight it. Here’s hoping it’s a worthy contender against the list of other WWII games out there.
